Super Cyclone

I will usually pick movies like this to shreds for how unlikely or just plain ridiculous they can be but this one, I would need to write a book. My first real clue was the radar that showed a storm moving from east to west across what was clearly a southern US state from the Atlantic into the Gulf of Mexico, while this was supposed to be set in the Pacific off California. A "storm" like this would be moving west to east.I'll leave it at that. I will say this would be a great movie for New Year's Eve when everyone was drinking. They could have a drinking game where every time someone hears "Super Cyclone", they drink a shot.It could headline a new category, Comedy Disaster. I would give it two stars but I';ll say three as my description mentions for that and convincing me to see what silly solution the protagonists come up with at the end. It did not disappoint there.If you like disaster movies, avoid it or go in with low expectations. IMO.

I like natural disaster movies that involve scientists, geologists, and, the like, but this movie is working with a limited budget. I was in the process of turning away from it, but it's so bad that it's funny, and for that reason, I will continue to watch it.I am back (writing this review as I watch the movie). By the way, before the previous editing, I gave this movie a solid 5 for hilarity due to fake rain, and a dramatic slow motion in a car scene during a storm. I must say, "what is up with Percy and why can't he reach out"?

Might want to pass on this one

The writing was atrocious as was the acting and the special effects. This is something that would be worthy of a MysteryScience 3000 episode. That’s what makes it awesome. If you’re looking for a comedy, this is brilliant.Fire hail that doesn’t set even dry brush on fire; a weird blob that’s supposed to be a cyclone; hair that stays perfect even (and even curled) although they’ve been exposed to wind from the cyclone and helicopters and explosions; people jumping/falling into what looks like a tank on the studio lot (or someone’s swimming pool); burn victims with nothing more than some soot on the face; and all you need is liquid nitrogen to stop a volcano. That’s just for starters!I can’t stop laughing

This whole movie was set in California. Yet I had to rewind when they showed the radar and had a picture of the storm hitting Florida. It is understandable that it was probably a low budget. But this made me laugh.

This movie has everything you could ever desire including bad acting, bad writing, bad plot, bad effects… Bad everything therefore I gave it a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Rating.So the characters are driving into a tornado yet they filmed the scene inside a car wash… You can literally see the soapsuds on the slide of the car. Before, the NOAA ship is getting taken over by the storm (keep in mind they just said the storm is not going to arrive for another two hours) and so the ship is going along there’s like a100 foot wall of water tsunami-ing towards them and they’re going sideways to the wave because the captain of the ship didn’t think the point his ship towards the wave or away from it. The next thing you know, just before the tsunami hits, the ship gets sucked up by tornado and the ship slowly spins around....everybody’s thrown all over the place… Then the ship gets gently drop down into the water after Tsunami has passed. As I said, everybody in the ship is thrown all over the place except for the guy with a hurt leg...he’s just laying down on top of the galley table in the kitchen… He was fine.

The long goodbye to super bad acting. The long goodbye to horrible graphics. The long goodbye to a stupid script. Why would two men on a deep sea oil rig volunteer to jump into boiling lava water? And how is it that two other men, seated on a metal ladder just a mere few feet above the rig's floor that is flooded with lava not even be sweating? Not only the ladder, but they should have been completely annihilated, in fact, the entire oil rig should have melted within a mere few minutes! And one of those men was severely burned, but yet, his uniform was just as clean as the day it left the laundry. Oh, and the tourniquet on the injured man's leg was so loose, it wouldn't hold up a pair of britches! One minute, a pickup load of people are driving on a marked hard-top road when the road blows up in front of them, and the next second, they're jumping out of the pickup in a definite wooded area! What? And these people run up a wooded path with hail fire raining down on them, but yet, when they descend that same path, there isn't a burned spot anywhere to be seen! Oh, and oil is covering everything as it is mixed in with the rain, but in the next scene, not only are the roads dry, but nothing is coated in oil! The long goodbye to the time I lost watching this ridiculously written, directed, and acted movie. But, the upside is, if you watch it with a comedic eye, it's not bad in that venue!

Surprisingly sound disaster flick. Well acted. The heroine was especially believable. Of course the usual stereotype roles were in evidence, but nicely handled. The boss on the oil rig and his partner were a particularly fine pair. The perilous journey segment was...perilous of course. I liked the special effects even the Coast Guard vessel being pulled out of the water. The hero being retrieved out of the sea at the end was a special "deus ex machine" treat. A nice job.

Low budget
